The Saturn photo looks like one of those "ooh, ooh, agh agh" comments uttered by Tim the Tooltime Toolman.

I was in 7th grade, during an amateur astronomy meeting, with a homebuilt telescope, that I saw a similar image, although in nowhere near this detail.

Still, I saw the rings and Saturn's bands.

Awesome!
